Mm, that I’m aware of. Ahh, yes. Always the interviews. Way to go, Med! I wish I could speak French. I took scattered lessons when I was younger, but I forgot a lot of it. Knowing languages is such a cool and useful thing but I never make time for it
Yes, hopefully. There was a big crowd cheering for him last night so that’s good. Ah, I can’t wait! xD
Ah, ah, okay. Yes. AHSGDSJSKS PCB IS THERE YOU BETTER CRUSH HIM THIS TIME MEDDY
I’m talking statistics. The data shows older folks are getting the shots, not younger–some states 100% 1st round compliance. They are not taking risks on a statistical level.
Anecdotally? I live in southern Louisiana. It’s SOUP you’re breathing in, outside right now. I won’t mask unless forced to (most indoor public buildings) because this is heat stroke weather. My feet were burning (feeling the pain of baking) 5 minutes barefoot outside just now, and I tan.
Ah, I thought you meant otherwise since you said they were still being cautious after vaccines. It makes sense if the statistics show that. But while they’re useful, they don’t explicitly tell us anything. We would still have to infer the reasons. So according to that, caution would mean just taking the vaccines? But apparently a higher percentage of fully vaccinated people get ill from the disease anyway. So I’m just wondering if it has anything to do with how careful they’re being, outside of statistics. After all, there has been a general lack of caution even in places where it’s stated that people should wear masks and stay distanced.
And yeah, I think not wearing them outside is mostly allowed, at least over here. Indoors, though, is a different story.
No, although that has been the RECOMMENDED direction for caution.
The point to taking a vaccine is to prevent getting ill and passing it on…and the sometimes moved-to goal of a weaker illness. None of these 3 variables are consistent in the data being handed out, but the article and vaccine statistics specifically showing that the vaccinated are MORE susceptible and AT LEAST AS LIKELY to pass on the illness.
The only factor not touched there, but is in the data on covid hospitalizations in England’s is severity, and that is a washout as well.
But: huge caveat. This is not enough for the full picture.
The part that will fail is that it looks like you may have to keep getting ththe shot every 6 months (like you should for the flu) to keep immunization high.
An I bet you didn’t know that the flu shot isn’t good for a whole year did you?
The part that decided me on at least 1 year if flu shot and boosters for the kids is the first way you catch the flu trains your body–some evidence of that. So, if they get flu shots and have a light time of it, they aren’t likely to ever get “a bad flu” in their younger years.
I’ve had 1 bad bout in my pre-teens, and other than that, I get it moderately.
Spouse gets a bad flu-like case on the shot–guaranteed 3 days in bed for something he doesn’t even catch but once or twice a decade? Yeah, the risks aren’t so severe as the cure–misses more days for the shot than for not.
Same! I took French lessons from 4th grade to 6th grade because in my primary school, starting 4th grade you had to choose between French and Mandarin. Now I only know a teeny tiny bit my university’s offering French courses, and I hope I’ll be able to relearn it starting next year.
this is gonna be real interesting. Then again, it’s near the end of August. Summer’s from June to August, right? Or is it July to September? Either way, he managed to survive the AO and steamroll his way to the tragic final. He better win this time as the top seed
Didn’t Canada secure enough doses to vaccinate their population five times? I read articles about all the rich countries doing that, like Canada, the UK, and Australia to name a few. My dad was cursing them for hoarding all the vaccines I can send you links to the articles if you want.
Yup. As a general rule (for me at least) anything medical, whether they be medicine or vaccines, should not be used when expired. Food okay, but stuff like this no I really wish they just shipped the almost-expiring doses to other countries instead of letting them waste. Like, if they only have a week left before they have to be thrown, why not send them to a place where people are dying to have them?
That’s exactly what makes it more interesting Fed is known to have the best net game (arguably). In videos where ATP players were asked to build their perfect player, a lot of them mentioned Fed’s volleys. On the other hand, Med’s volleys are considered some of the worst for a top player. Not to mention that the former is considered elegant, while that latter is “unorthodox”
If you’re wondering why it took me long to reply, I was outside
I took French in grades 5 and 6. Grade 5 because it was required in Canada, 6 because my dad wanted us to continue after we left. But then we stopped because the teacher moved away. I’m awful at it though. I can barely even put together basic sentences. xD I know more Mandarin, though, because my parents also wanted me to take it.
Mmhm, yeah. Well! Let’s hope he makes it.
also, not sure if it means anything, but in some photos I noticed Med wearing a cross necklace when he was playing. Or just whenever. xD
Did they? I have no idea. No one ever told us about that. xD Last time I heard, there weren’t enough. Suppose that might have changed, but I don’t know, I don’t really pay much attention to the news… I’m not a fan of how the government always holds things back, though. But that’s annoying if they’re actually hoarding, other countries need it more I guess. In some places, they have to pay to get it, and you don’t over here because it’s covered or something. I honestly don’t know how all of this works, but yeah. I’d like to see the articles, though.
Yesss. I’m curious how they’d manage it. xD
Yeah, Med’s really got to work on those. It’s a noticeable difference from a lot of players.
That’s because of logistics. Works well in cities known to be midst-epicenter, but rural areas and poorly run countries would just be handing out expired vaccines.
That and some of them have to be kept refrigerated or they break down.
